Sampling errors are random outcomes of the sample design, and are therefore easily measurable. Non-sampling errors can occur at the various stages of the survey implementation in data collection and data processing, and are generally difficult to be statistically evaluated. They cover a wide range of errors, including errors resulting from non-response, sampling frame coverage, and data processing and response (both respondent and interviewer-related). The use of effective training and supervisions and the careful design of questions as measures have direct bearing on the magnitude of non-sampling errors, and hence the quality of the resulting data
Data Evaluation:
The following items were used to evaluate the data:
1. Definition of the household and registration of the members.
2. Demographic characteristics related to date of birth.
3. Details in recording of occupation and economic activities data.
4. Housing unit and date of completing construction .
